Abstract

An apparatus comprising a data framer comprising a physical layer protocol stack comprising a coax convergence layer, a coax framing layer next to the convergence layer, wherein the coax framing layer is configured to decompose and assemble data packets in a coax network, a coax coding layer next to the coax frame layer, wherein the coax coding layer is configured to protect the coax transmissions from impairments, a coax modulation layer next to the coax coding layer, wherein the coax modulation layer is configured to modulate the data according to a coax physical layer (PHY), and a radio frequency layer next to the coax modulation layer and configured to interface to an electrical medium for a coaxial network.
